Over the last 30+ years, tornadoes have touched down the most in our region between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Tornadoes are much more uncommon, but not impossible, in the early morning hours.

An EF-1 tornado touched down in and near Gordon on May 18. The National Weather Service Fort Worth confirmed the tornado on Monday, May 19, citing estimated peak winds of 105 mph. An EF-1 rating is assigned for tornadoes with estimated peak winds between 86 and 110 mph.

Humidity levels will be going up over the next 24 hours. This will lead to scattered storm chances Thursday evening. A few could be strong to severe.

Severe storms are expected to erupt across a wide swath of Texas late Monday — from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to East Texas.

At 8:26 p.m. on Sunday, the NWS Fort Worth TX released an updated tornado warning in effect until 9:15 p.m. The warning is for Hood, Parker and Palo Pinto counties.

While heat continues to grip Texas, a threat of thunderstorms, large hail and damaging winds continues into the week for the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
